The FRSC disclosed this in a press statement by the Sector Commander, FRSC Ogun State, Umar Ahmed, titled, ‘Clearance of Obstruction along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway’.
Many travellers had spent their crossover and celebrated New Year along the Lagos Ibadan-Expressway after a gas tanker fell around the Ibafo area of the expressway and caused gridlock.
